The judges also pulled up the petitioners - autorickshaw drivers, for bringing up a "personal cause."
"This isn't a Public Interest Litigation but a Personal Interest Litigation. This is not a genuine PIL as you are personally aggrieved because people are using bike taxis and not autorickshaws. How can you decide if travelling in a bike taxi is safe or in an autorickshaw is safe? Who will decide?" CJ Aradhe remarked.
